Actually, I didn't think of my own direct experience related to the
above before sending it.  I also used to have a 24/2.8 lens (an "A"
version), as well as a couple of 28mm lenses at that time, and an A
20/2.8.  What I found happening was that I did often use a 28mm lens
when I wanted "wide", but I generally went with the 20/2.8 when I
wanted "w-i-d-e-r", usually "bypassing" the 24/2.8.  So, I
eventually "liberated" the 24/2.8, sending it along to a good home
where it would not be so neglected - <g>.
